Water, Water.....
It’s easy to forget that BBC Breakfast was one a serious news programme. If memory serves Jeremy Paxman was one of the original presenters! Now we have the gormless-looking Dermot (Mondeo Man) Murnaghan and the ever-pouting Natasha Kaplinsky. She used to be pouter-in- chief in the press offices of both John Smith and Neil Kinnock.
Julia Botfield (with latest spray-on hair style)
Today Julia (Jules) Botfield described somewhat kindly as a “one of Breakfast's core team of reporters and presenters” had been send down to Southern Water’s Weir Wood Reservoir near East Grinstead. She was to do a serious piece on how the lack of winter rain and snow meant that the reservoir was only 56% full as opposed to its usual 95%; and how the lucky customers of Southern Water were being primed for an imminent hose-pipe ban.
Southern Water's Water Planning and Strategy Manager, Meyrick Gough and a colleague were standing by the reservoir. It was bucketing down. No “BBC Breakfast" umbrellas in sight. And what was intended to be a serious, and for SW’s customers, an important report, ended with everyone falling about laughing.
Cheers
